UoL and UK both passed on him:)

Cronin is a good coach. I think most are being too picky and that pickiness is his appearance/personality. If he was our coach and won a ton of games people would embrace him

No it is not. Meanwhile our white whale hasn’t won a quad 1 game in over a decade

What do you think they were posting that was legitimate?

We always find a way to NOT do the successful thing

Is that last sentence you or the rabjohns of Michigan saying that? also, do you recall who here was adamant that May would not discuss an extension until after the season was over?

Anything is plausible. Other angle is that he said nothing for months last time as hype around him continued to build, only for him to come out very late in the game and announce he isn’t interested in the job; he received quite a bit of flack for his handling of the situation. getting out early and squashing it removes himself from that

We could also hire Stevens and he decides to leave at the first opportunity to run a hedge fund. There is a ton of support ($1000,000,000) for a guy that has never stayed put long and has bolted at the first glimpse of trouble id put my investment behind a guy that has always wanted to coach in college

Neither does mine nor yours. the guy will either win big at Ole Miss or take over somewhere else and we will watch him compete for final fours just like we have when we passed on Calipari, Pitino, Pearl etc

I would take Beard above anyone else. He’s passionate about college basketball, loves IU and is a proven winner. Ole Miss fans love him

Because there is only one real logical time to announce our next coach and that is after our current coach’s job ends. That day - end of ncaa tourney is a relatively small window

Didn’t TB abruptly leave college Baskebtall because of NIL? is he still mad at IU? for me, I don’t want anyone that walked away from college basketball and is off doing something else. I want a guy that lives and breathes this game and is willing to grind for IU and try to retire here. I’m not sure what Indiana’s infatuation is with guys that aren’t college coaches.

He was one of the primary leaks in 2021…

Sending you a DM

There is little doubt that IU has been in communication with Stevens. There has been for 13 years. That’s not new. Why did Stevens do the whole masshole thing 4 years ago? Why did Goodman ask him for an interview? Because people are talking about him and Indiana just like they have each cycle. This whole done deal thing has been done before without it being done. Hopefully Dolson has learned from last time and isn’t doing things to our schedule and with recruiting until it is signed sealed and delivered.

Do you really think that Dolson locked him up last month and it didn’t get out? With two kids in high school and college, Celtics affiliation, lawyers, trustees, ADs, presidents, donors and the list goes on, that it would have gotten out? seriously take a second and think about all the people involved and the only 3 people that knows is Dolson, Stevens and people on this board?

Thank you. But that’s not what we were told here. We were told it was confirmed to have happened.

Let me add, if Dolson was in fact doing things externally with schedules and AAU coaches at the request of Stevens without a signed contract in place, especially given what transpired 4 years ago we’re screwed. all the stories that keep getting shared that is intended to prop Dolson makes me less and less confident he’s not screwing it up again. i sincerely hope he was not building a schedule and speaking to AAU coaches on behalf of a non candidate. That’s really really stupid

I was just teasing. I mean he has his guy, contracts been in his hands for weeks with a deadline and that was all shareable but…

You think Brad told Dolson to stop leaking things to internet message board guys? Or that it is ok to leak it to them but just ask them to stop leaking it further maybe?

The fans are the last thing holding this program together so I agree the fans aren’t the issue. That said, there is a debate about Cronin and his remarks after their loss the other night wouldn’t sit well with IU fans. He essentially blamed the fans for their poor shooting. It was odd to say the least

What are options 1 and 2?

The dead horse needs to be beaten

Omg, an hour went by without a new post. Bump

Random guy on a message board like the rest of us but unlike him, the rest of us are here with honest intentions. He is 100-% here to mess with people and get attention. the stuff he has shared has been 100% made up
